All that Hummer Benedict at Harper’s.

Globetrotter brunch affair at Harper’s
2525 Elm St., Suite 150 (Deep Ellum)

Globally inspired restaurant Harper’s on The Epic’s first floor launched brunch service about a month ago, and the concept around the world will make you want to at least travel to Deep Ellum to try it out.

Try the Japanese pancakes with blueberry compote and whipped créme fraîche or transport a whole lobster benedict to the sea. Other brunch options include oak smoked salmon with toasted mini bagels and all accessories, a grilled avocado side, and brioche french toast.

The cocktail menu is also on point with the Mimosa in Bed, a common brunch favorite, served with seasonal berries and three juices. The Geisha Mary is made from the Asian Bloody Mary Mix by KK and the Ketel One vodka.

Brunch is served on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit Harper’s website to view the menu and make reservations.

Cars & brunch in the Derby
9100 John W. Carpenter Freeway

Perhaps you drove past The Shop on Stemmons wondering if you should go shopping there. But that means you missed it a few years ago when the auto and motorcycle lover membership was announced. After some delays, the club and adjoining restaurant opened this spring.

The restaurant in the place where car lovers gather is called Derby and it is open to the public. Chef Gregory Dishman offers modern interpretations of home-style cooking with a southern influence, as well as classic sandwiches, bar meals and cocktails.

Every Saturday you can stop by Cars and Brunch, which has themed car shows – think British cars, exotic cars, raised cars – every week during brunch from 11am to 1pm

Brunch dishes include egg benedict with country ham on cornbread, chicken and waffles, beef medallion hash with sweet potatoes, french toast with almond crunch, and more. Matt’s Bad Ass Bacon is available as a side dish and also as a starter on the all-day menu. This maple cayenne glazed bacon is a must have. Visit the website for the full menu and auto show schedule.

Drag Show Brunch at The Trove
320 W. 7th St. (Bishop Arts)

This beautiful jewelry store and lounge is the perfect setting for weekly brunch shows with Ruby Diamond and her dolls. The dolls bring the movements, and you can settle into brunch options and gemstone-themed cocktails. There is also a Friday evening show, but the brunch shows are every Saturday and Sunday from 2pm to 5pm. General admission starts at $ 10 at Eventbrite.

Classic brunch in The Heights
2015 Abrams Parkway (Lakewood)

At The Heights in Lakewood, brunch on Fridays is really a combination of breakfast and lunch, and you can enjoy it on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The brunch menu is served at the same times.

You won’t feel the slightest bit easy starting your day with the basic breakfast of two organic eggs, bacon, ham or sausage of your choice, plus rosemary potato hash and toast. Other excellent breakfast options include hashish and eggs, Lakewood migas or roasted oatmeal muesli pancakes with caramel, apple and praline syrup.

Chef Karin Porter used to be a cook at The Grape and does everything here in the house, right down to the sauces, dressings and desserts.

Brunch with a view at Nine at The National
1401 Elm St. (Downtown Dallas)

Don’t worry if ordering avocado toast seems like bougie; Nine calls it avocado tartine, and anyone who orders this has to be real. With chef Jeramie Robinson at the helm, this menu is consistently upscale.

Indulge your desire for opulence with caviar wafer bites with Osetra caviar, salmon rillettes, smoked roe and a waffle latke or a smoked salmon benedict. Even the communal Elvis Toast leaves “down home” behind with banana brûlée, sesame honey and basil blossom on toast.

Lunch is a bit more relaxed with a country club sandwich, a 44 Farms burger or a cobb salad. Whether you opt for simplicity or luxury dining, perhaps the best part here is the view of downtown from the ninth floor of the Thompson Dallas Hotel and the residences at The National.

Weekend hours are 7am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays, and reservations can be made through Resy.
